Triggering a Waveform
Trigger Type
Type defines the trigger mode: how the waveform plays when triggered.
• Continuous mode repeats the waveform until you turn the signal off or select a different waveform,
trigger mode, or response (Free Run, Trigger & Run, Reset & Run).
• Single mode plays the waveform once.
• Segment Advance mode plays a segment in a sequence only if triggered. The trigger source controls
segment- to- segment playing (see Example: Segment Advance Triggering on page 101). A trigger
received during the last segment loops play to the first segment in the sequence.
• Gated mode triggers the waveform at the first active triggering state, then repeatedly starts and
stops playing the waveform in response to an externally applied gating signal. See Example: Gated
Triggering on page 102.

immediately restarts th

waveform.
A segment in a sequence plays
once, ignoring the repetition
setting, after which the dual ARB
player stops and waits for a
trigger before advancing to the
next segment. The next segment
then plays to completion.
If a trigger is received while a
segment is playing, the segment
plays to completion. The dual
ARB player then advances to the
next segment and plays that
segment to completion.
A segment in a sequence plays continuously until the waveform receives another trigger.
If a trigger is received while a segment is playing, the segment plays to completion. The
dual ARB player then advances to the next segment and plays that segment continuously.
